I'm making a feta, corn, black bean salsa. So good! I've also prepped all of the stuff that I need to make watermelon mojitos, and I picked up the stuff DH needs to make his rum punches (he's been recreating these ever since we came back from vacation). LOL We'll grill tomorrow, but not sure what exactly. We were in charge of a snack & pool drinks. My mom and sister are both off today, so they are doing the rest.

A blue cheeseburger sounds so good right now. If I wasn't so lazy I would totally go to the store to get the ingredients to make them.

Today is all my normal food (read: every thread we've done so far!) plus a GF brownie and a little ice cream this afternoon. Tonight is chicken burgers, zucchini, chips & guac

Tomorrow, same old until dinner - hot dog or burger at a BBQ, and we're bringing veggies, natural Ruffles (omg so good, I cannot open them in my house), and ranch dip.

It's gonna get ugly up in here this weekend.

Today I did my long run on trails (read: lots of elevation gain, which makes me starrrrrving), and then we went to play golf. After that, we went to lunch, where I ate almost an entire sausage wood-fired pizza by myself and drank a marg. Tonight we are grilling brats.

Tomorrow, I don't know, since MIL is doing it all. That means nothing will be remotely healthy. I'm in charge of booze, so I'll be drinking Deep Eddy vodkas all day (or vidka, yes, lb2006? )

Sunday we're going to see Wicked, and I think MIL is taking us out beforehand, so even more deliciousness and cocktails.

Friday: Dessert: Because you should never turn down a slice of Blackberry pie from one of your favorite restaurants.

Pretty ugly weekend on the eating front-
Friday- we did a 35 mile pub crawl via bike so there was beer, pub fries, popcorn, white pizza and ice cream involved. 
Today- bagels & coffee, lunch of leftovers so either stir fry or quinoa/rice/corn/black bean salad, dinner either salmon burger on grill or kale-potato enchiladas
Tomorrow- long trail run which makes me ravenous, so hopefully a beef burger on the grill and/or leftover enchiladas if I make them today. Probably some ice cream as well.
